Can I get an extension?

Unfortunately, no – due to the API’s ongoing compliance obligation with the Professional Standards Councils, no extension can be offered.

Your APIV membership may lapse and may put your company and all associated members in breach of the APIV membership policy.

What documents/information do I need to complete the renewal?

  • Ensure your company/Business information is up-to-date (See Notes section)
  • Current Certificate of Currency
  • Current Professional Indemnity Insurance Policy wording
  • To complete the last section of the declaration, you will need to know the number of valuations conducted in the last calendar year (i.e. Mortgage, Low-Risk and other non-mortgage, Full inspection, restricted assessment (kerbside), and desktop assessments for Residential, Commercial, and development.)
  • Provide your Upper-End Values (highest valuation). This will be the highest valuation conducted during your previous PI policy period, NOT during your current PI policy.
  • Prepare your APIV renewal invoice for payment. Please ensure the first five (5) numbers are quoted in the description if paying by EFT. Surcharges apply to all Card payments.

NOTE:

  1. If you need to add or remove members for your APIV Scheme coverage, please fill out the APIV Additional Member Application or the APIV Resignation form and send it to APIV Admin
  2. If your PI policy is still current, could you report on your last PI policy period? (e.g. if your policy is from 1/1/2022 – 1/1/2023, then your highest valuation needs to be between 1/1/2021 and 1/1/2022).
  3. If you conduct both Low-Risk Valuations and Non-Low Risk Valuations, you will need to disclose both highest valuations
